Lamination – fiberglass and glassfabric

Fiberglass reinforcements, including boat mats and fiberglass fabrics combined with resin, are used for repairs of boats, yachts, camping trailers, and other laminate products. The repaired elements can be made of laminate, steel, aluminum, and of course, wood.

Undoubtedly, coatings obtained using resin along with fiberglass mat or fabric have good adhesion to the substrate, are durable, resistant to gasoline, oils, greases, and also to short-term exposure to temperatures up to 70°C.

To finish laminated surfaces we recommend to use:

epoxy fillers Sea-Line®
epoxy primers Sea-Line®
topcoats Sea-Line®

Product description "Lamination – fiberglass and glassfabric"

Glass Fibre Mate
Glass fibre mat, in connection with laminating resin, is used for the repairs of big holes in boats, yachts, camping caravans, etc. The repaired elements may be made from steel, aluminum or GRP, reinforced with glass fibre. The obtained layers have very good adherence, are durable, resistant to petrol, oils, greases, and the short period temperatures up to 70ºC.

Glass Fabric
Glass fabric are used in the production of laminates, as a resin reinforcement. Allows for a higher glass content in the laminate and better durability. Minimizes the amount of resin necessary for the production of laminates while increasing durability.

To obtain a full-fledged and adequately strong laminate, use a 2:1 weight ratio of resin to fibre glass mat or 1:1 weight ratio of resin to glass fabric.

Our FAQ answers to frequently asked questions

Possible causes

Wrong viscosity and spraying technique,
Failure to maintain proper evaporation time and thickness of layers,
Incorrect spraying pressure,
Too low temperature of varnish, surface or space ,
Wrong thinner or hardener.

How to prevent

Apply the right type of application method indicated by manufacturer,
Use working spray guns,
Both the object and material must have room temperature of 20ﹾC,
Apply correct proportion of base and hardener.

How to remove

Grinding and polishing,
Grinding and painting,

We recommend to always sand the surface between applying two different products to ensure uniform surface roughness and adhesion of subsequent layers. The sanded surface should also be cleaned and degreased.

We do not recommend using universal thinners. The use of a thinner with an unknown composition may result in loss of adhesion, lack of proper flow of paint and varnish defects.
